Vision Wide VB-1516 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust worktable sized 59" x 51", capable of supporting workpieces up to 15,400 lbs, making it well-suited for heavy-duty machining tasks. The spindle is vertically oriented with a BT 50 taper (optional CAT 50 taper available) and operates at a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM (4,500 RPM optional), driven by a powerful 25 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, with an optional increase to 30 HP for enhanced performance. The tool handling system includes an automatic tool changer (ATC) that accommodates 32 tools standard, expandable to 40 tools, with a rapid 3-second tool change time to minimize downtime. The machine operates on 3 axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 59", 63", and 31" respectively. Each axis supports a maximum feed rate of 276 inches per minute and rapid traverse speed of 590 inches per minute, ensuring efficient material removal and quick positioning. This setup is optimized for precision and productivity in machining large, heavy parts across various applications, combining rigidity, speed, and flexibility. The machine’s design supports high workpiece capacity and robust spindle power, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery manufacturing environments requiring precise and reliable vertical milling operations.
